• Notes

  Born under the name Pfahl, but later changed to Swaebe Note that at the time of her birth, her mother had been divorced from Charles Pfahl for 12 years! However, after her mother married Fred Cox, she seems to have adopted Cox as her surname as that is the name at the time of her marriage. Note that her brother Norman had already emigrated to Canada before their mother married Fred Cox.
